Well I was born on the wrong side 'a' town 
My momma said "Son, don't let it bring ya down" 
You gotta do whatcha can with the stuff tha ya got 
You gotta push! push! 'Till you get your shot 

You work hard from 9-5 
Tax man leaves ya just enuff to survive 
So when you feel like you're under the gun 
That's when it's time to start havin' some fun 

Come on, come on 
You gotta live it up 
Come on, come on 
You gotta live it up 

When the world starts bringin' ya down 
And you're in so deep you think you'll never get out 
You gotta step back, take a look at yourself 
You ain't gonna find it in a wishing well 

You play hard, you play to win 
Sooner or later, you gotta give in 
Cause you don't get nothin' for free 
But here's a little lesson you can take from me 

You play hard, you play to win
